Damn… death is so… permanent…!
Ma and I have gone through another set of tires and need an alignment too. Ma doesn’t like the steering wheel on her Kia because it takes some effort to turn when not moving. Never thought about it when we drove it off the lot. Dad’s Cadillac had effortless steering. We asked sales about it and learned we got a performance package…hmm… The little things you don’t know when buying a car. I like it and see it isn’t effortless but that’s me. Of course, we would have waited for a special order but the test drive went straight from the ready to go position onto the street. Not a trick to hide something, just good Customer service. There’s a wheel alignment place Ma likes to use instead of Firestone or Big O or Tire World or Discount Tire. Learned that place is closed after all these years. Off to HH Tire on 85. They’ve been here since we’ve been here back to 1980. Ah, the good ol’ days – never could see tomorrow…
I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do.
I could never see tomorrow, but i was never told about the sorrow.
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, no one said a word about the sorrow.
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
And how can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.
